“The topic of sex and sexual wellbeing is often considered taboo and more about physical enjoyment rather than a person’s health, yet the fact of the matter is that sexual activity is an important component to happiness and overall well-being, and strengthening pelvic floor muscles through orgasms is another way to decrease the likelihood of urinary incontinence,” said Julie Blacker, Clinical Specialist at Pelvic Tech. “Pelvic Tech earning its status as an FSA/HSA eligible company is not an end point, but rather a milestone in our pursuit to empower those people with access to the best pelvic technology tools and devices.”
Considering the full purchase path that a consumer takes while using their HSA and FSA accounts, Pelvic Tech has also published this Letter of Medical Necessity (LMN) in case any purchases are questioned by their insurance companies. This easy to use form can be filled out by a doctor or other licensed medical provider and helps to validate the medical purchase.
Pelvic Tech’s devices are designed to not only improve pelvic health, but also to help those whose sexual activity has unfortunately ceased due to incontinence, pain and poor pelvic muscle coordination, as well as mobility issues. Regardless of physical limitations, anyone can purchase these medically approved devices, now with an extra tax advantage, so that sexual activities can once again be an activity of their daily living.

As a result of their rigorous work schedules, Navy Federal Credit Union’s employees were allegedly unable to take off duty meal breaks and were not fully relieved of duty for meal periods. Specifically, the lawsuit alleges employees were from time to time interrupted during their off-duty meal breaks to complete tasks for Navy Federal Credit Union. Employees were allegedly required to perform work as ordered by Navy Federal Credit Union for more than five (5) hours during a shift without receiving an off-duty meal break. Further, the lawsuit alleges Navy Federal Credit Union failed to provide employees with a second off-duty meal period each workday in which these employees were required by Navy Federal Credit Union to work ten (10) hours of work. Navy Federal Credit Union’s policy allegedly caused employees to remain on-call and on duty during what was supposed to be their off-duty meal periods. Employees therefore allegedly forfeited meal breaks without additional compensation and in accordance with Navy Federal Credit Union’s strict corporate policy and practice.
